Visitors from Congo Declare: "Africa Loves Israel" - Inside Israel - Israel News - Israel National News
I would love to fundraise and get books (chumash, tannakh, etc) for the Igbos of Nigeria. I seem to have good mazal fundraising, but I am not confidence about the business part of it all (establishing a bank account, etc).
A short story:
Long ago, I once asked a kabbalist what can I do for Africa. I feel so much for it, but feel powerless to do much. He said to just think positively about it. I thanked him and hung up the phone. Secretly I thought, "just think about Africa? How's that going to do anything?!"
Anyway, that year, I did think alot about Africa, not just the continent, but individual countries, people I knew, African Americans, Caribbeans...all the African descended peoples and wished them well and worried about them, pined that they should be well, etc. That same year, my sister came into the Jewish fold!!
I was very happy! I don't know how it happened. I don't even know if these two incidents are related. But It was a good feeling.
